Please read this note from our Superintendent-

We ask for our community to continue your support in doing our best to keep our schools safe. Please do not send a sick child to school and be aware of the following symptoms to keep your child(ren) home: a student has a fever (100.4 temperature without fever-reducing medications), or a student has a positive or pending test for COVID-19. If a student has a new cough, shortness of breath, or recent changes to taste/smell, we recommend you contact your health professional for guidance.

With the new Omicron variant and winter season upon us, COVID-19 cases have increased throughout our community and across the state. Ensuring sick children are not sent to school helps to control virus spread and keep our schools open.

Please reference the District’s website for the latest CCSD protocols for COVID-19. We are thankful for your continued support during these challenging times as we work together in the best interest of our students, families, and staff.

Congrats to our Eagle of the Week. Thank you for being an Excellent Eagle.

Thank you to Depew Orthodontics for sponsoring this amazing honor.

Not only is our very own Mrs. Taylor the Cobb County ESOL Teacher of the Year, but she has now also won the GEORGIA ESOL TEACHER OF THE YEAR!!! She won for the whole state of Georgia!

We are so proud of Mrs. Taylor and thankful for all she does for the students, families, and staff at Big Shanty! This is a well deserved honor!

The district has updated guidance regarding parents and visitors effective December 1, 2021:

• Due to continued social distancing and limited visitors in the classroom, we are sorry that parents will not be allowed to attend the classroom holiday celebrations this year.
• Due to lack of space and continued social distancing, parents may not request to have lunch with students at this time.
• Students will continue to walk to class independently at drop off.
• Late check in, early check out, and ASP check out procedures will remain the same at this time.

We appreciate your continued support at BSI.
